b. 169-170

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Slurs from 2nd semiquaver in A (→FE,EE)

Slurs from 1st semiquaver in GC (→GE)
..

In A the R.H. slurs were clearly corrected – originally they started from the first semiquaver after the rest, only to have the beginnings deleted, so they ultimately start from the 2nd semiquaver. It is hard to say why such clear corrections were not taken into account in GC (→GE). Similar differences between the sources also occur in bars 173-174.
